That does look like a clean example - engine bay looks "honest" - there were a couple of people in the intros section looking for motors - might be worth pointing them in his direction?
Hudson Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 That is a bargain if only I had that sort of spare change! My partner would kill me if I bought another for parts... will try run through the his and hers idea with her one day see how that goes one day Been painting a few detailing parts from the engine bay and hydrodipping a few bits too to hopefully have most of it done by the weekend as the car has been sat on the drive all week feeling cold and lonely.
david1972 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Got a loud, single clunk coming from the nsf every time I lift off the brake pedal today [emoji53] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk None of this tonight, but I'm getting a lot of 'noise' at speeds over 30mph....can't believe it's my relatively new falken tyres (be !Removed! if it is) so can only assume it's one or more bearings on the way out?

stants Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 Driving home 40mph in 4th, accelerated slightly slight bog down in power then it flashes up cel#22 knock sensor, so reset and been for a blast, have to see what's what and keep an eye on things
savage bulldogs Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Was your motor cold stants ? Cos the esl in my v3 didn't like my noisy pistons and kept adjusting the map (making it richer) to compensate for what it thought was knock . So If yours was cold and "slapping" a bit it might have thought it was knock ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
stants Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 No mate, been driving for a good hour and a half in stop start traffic, couple of things sprang to mind, A, it was just really hot, water was close to 100° on and off,oil was mid 90's as she'd been sat in traffic crawling for about 30 mins, it was only after i'd gone about half mile up road when temps began to come down, that it triggered, B, I read that some people had had an issue after washing with water entering scoop and causing a fault, 1st time i've ever seen it, Never get it from cold start, it felt like the waste gate was stuck open as it didn't cut so to speak, just nothing and then it all came back up. C, she just doesn't like outdoor life after being garaged for 3 years not used to the cold and throwing a wobbler or the sensor housing is damaged, Anyway reset last night, drove to work fine plugged into evoscan when o got her when for a drive, knock values were the same as any other logging session

GeoffLeggy Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 So I am a very happy Subaru owner at the moment! Been on the rollers and everything is as it should be. Car is running sweeeet and making the power. Circa 90,000 miles covered and running stock boost I ran it again after with a mod but running a little lean on the primary and hit the fuel cut on secondary but looked solid so back some other time to trim it out and will easy get 300bhp top end and loads more bottom end torque. 1

kayzarh Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Went through 15 fuses and my short finder failed me :( but good news is I got the odometer running all good. Just the hazards cause my fuse(S) to pop Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
martyc Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Pulled up at a roundabout and heard a horrendous knocking noise and my heart sunk [emoji22] Turns out it was roadworks and my paranoia knows no bounds. On the plus side I washed the old girl today Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
savage bulldogs Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Somehow i managed to finish work early today [emoji55] So to keep myself busy I've fitted the front coilovers this afternoon If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 4

AndyXV Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 are strut braces worth it? looking at some on eBay currently
Gaulson Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I've only driven mine with one on so can't do a before and after comparison. Looks good though? ;) Got excited last night at the sound of a rumble... looked out the front window to see this...
